How a Hero Lives as a Writer

76 – Secret Deal (4)

I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been here underground.

However, she felt that the time was too small to say that a man and a woman had s*x and enjoyed afterlife.

If I have to quickly organize and go up here, only rumors that I have premature ejaculation will bite the tail.

So I decided to sit back and pass the time until Theresa stopped crying.

It took Theresa a while before she stopped sniffing, and with her back turned away from me, she pulled her knees together and buried her head.

“Why did you do something so cruel… ?”

“I made fun of you for being a coward.”

“Only, for that reason?”

“Since you have shown that you are not a coward, isn’t that the reason you are full of energy?”

“….”

There were several reasons.

But it dawned on her that she didn’t have to say why.

This awkward situation is caused by her.

That’s why I thought it was okay to be grumpy like this.

So instead of answering her, I leaned against her and put her weight on her back.

Her body, which had to bear my weight, shrank even more.

“Now, what should I do… ?”

Teresa asked if she was worried that I might change suddenly, so she asked me what to do next very carefully.

Anyway, in that short amount of time, it felt like she had become a very fearful existence.

ㅡ Why did you go that far?

There are many reasons?

ㅡ Really? Wasn’t it a matter of resentment?

There’s that too… It was meant not to be mistaken.

ㅡ Illusion?

This was her way of thinking about her.

ㅡ Why?!

Miss Helena insisted that I was justifying myself.

That I was raised wrong, that my heart froze because it was so cold.

Miss Helena has always been thinking about this.

Hmm….

ㅡ Don’t do that! So, why do you think it was because of Teresa?

I intend to live here.

Then, as I expected, a swarm of pesky flies will cling to it.

I decided to keep Teresa by my side to get one of them off.

But if Teresa holds any favors with me, it will be pretty difficult.

ㅡ Because I have to spy for the Holy Kingdom… ?

Exactly.

That’s why I acted as a bastard in moderation to take precautions.

I’m a bastard, so if there’s anything the Holy Land demands, listen to it.

It’s roughly like this.

ㅡ Did I still have to go this far?

I had no intention of going this far.

If Teresa had asked for help from the beginning, she would have listened.

ㅡ You said the newly dispatched saintess from the Holy Land was annoying?

He must have shouldered all the trouble and helped me.

ㅡ Certainly, if it’s you up until now….

Miss Helena crossed her arms and nodded her head.

Yes, in the end, it was Teresa herself who misunderstood the human being who created this situation.

I am not an adult.

This means that no matter what happens, I am not an idiot enough to laugh it off and say, “hehehe, I am a warrior of justice!”

I did such a troublesome thing because I didn’t trust me after being called a god’s representative or a hero.

I must have looked like a shy little bastard to women.

Even a virgin can easily sleep with at least one hukou like this.

You must have thought so.

A cunning year.

ㅡ Calm down….

How do you calm down?

Seongguk was an honored guest and provided a place that corresponds to the most expensive egg yolk in the Lady Theme Park.

I even donated a portion of the proceeds from the novel to keep a good relationship.

He also installed rocket stoves and mass heaters next to the capital, and politely asked for permission from the kingdom whenever something happened.

However, the Seongguk and the Saints feed the taffy in pairs… ?

So now I do my own thing.

“Hero, sir?”

“Let’s make an appointment.”

“Are you talking about a promise?”

“Yes, I need to come here regularly to show off my friendship.”

This woman is having an affair with me.

And it’s not an overnight mistake.

There is a need to show off to those around you with such a meaning.

“In the cathedral, there is an event to pray to the Creator on weekends, right? Let’s use that.”

In the meeting room of the capital, we became allies for humanity.

So, unlike before, we need to have a closer relationship with the Seongguk.

No one will doubt if I visit here often.

“Okay….”

Teresa just nodded helplessly.

It felt like the shock hadn’t gone away yet.

“What is the meaning of the holy relic in the middle of that pond?”

She didn’t like talking to her, but she had to kill her time, so she decided to change her subject.

As expected, what bothered me the most was the holy relic that appeared to be the Holy Grail in that pond.

We don’t even have a rocket stove here, so it’s strangely warm.

I think it’s probably the power of that relic.

“That is a holy relic that creates holy water containing holy power.”

“That important thing?”

“Yes. That’s because the hero has an important meaning to the Holy Land.”

It’s a holy relic that creates holy water….

But it doesn’t feel like holy water.

As if feeling my doubts, Teresa continued with supplementary explanations.

“I heard that in the past it was definitely a cup overflowing with holy water to purify all evil.”

From noble mtl dot com

I learned a surprising fact.

Does the relic have an expiration date?

ㅡ That kind of expression is a bit….

“Are the holy things of God unable to withstand the flow of time….”

When you say expiration date, it doesn’t look like it, so I tried to use an expression that looks a bit like it.

“Still, since it is a holy relic, it is effective if placed at the center of the leyline.”

“Isn’t it warm here even though it’s midwinter?”

Sure.

I heard Theresa’s long hair brushing my back.

It must have been a small nod.

“Teresa.”

“Yes, warrior.”

“Is it difficult for the Holy Kingdom to quit clergy?”

If you don’t like grafting with old trees, shouldn’t you stop?

“… I never even thought about it.”

… If it’s natural, it would be natural.

Let’s say there is a person who always mentions ‘Hell Joseon’ and calls it a beggar country.

When I say to that person, ‘Then why don’t we leave Joseon?’

It’s an impossible story unless it’s a special case like me.

Those with the ability might be able to do it, but Teresa doesn’t have the ability to be independent….

Ah, that’s it.

“In a place called Earth, there is an incredibly large country called the United States.”

As I started talking she could slightly tilt her head and then she raised her head again.

It was a gesture that he was listening to me.

“There is a saying in that country that freedom is not free.”

She didn’t really put on a horse, but she was listening carefully so that I wouldn’t miss my story.

“It would be embarrassing to stick around a bastard like me all the time. You don’t want to go through the experience of being crawling with bugs, do you?”

“That thing….”

It is neither agreeable nor denied.

Teresa fell silent and shut her mouth.

“Freedom is not free, Teresa.”

“….”

“If you want to obtain freedom, cultivate your strength that even the Holy Kingdom cannot interfere with.”

“Power, do you mean?”

“You and I don’t have to have children. The important thing is the power balance between the castle and the empire. It would be nice to have a child, but if you have a holy relic, you won’t force it.”

Theresa nodded her head dazedly.

“However, a man and a woman who are in a relationship do not make children, but if she continues to hang out, the story will be different.”

“….”

“It became a relationship between a man and a woman, but after living together, you had outstanding abilities. That’s why I came to see you as a partner, not a seedling… I am thinking of a story like this.”

Teresa said in a small voice, “Sir….,” She muttered, then sighed.

No, right?

ㅡ Couldn’t you treat me a little more gently as usual?

I’m warning you not to fall for the ultra-popular man (Jin) Bright.

A carrot and a stick.

It’s annoying when you get tangled up like this because you like a black woman.

ㅡ Huh.

“By the way, I don’t need your holy power. Please think of other abilities.”

“Okay, yes.”

Theresa bowed her head, still grim.

Where did the saintess who radiated her dignified and divine energy go?

ㅡ You killed me. This killer!

Oh….

“Then why did you come here?”

“I have a bedroom near here.”

“You live underground like this?”

“Yes. If you are near the holy relic, the divine power will be refined….”

That’s a very realistic reason.

It seems that enough time has passed that you can think that you have had an affair and enjoyed the afterlife.

The water that seeped into the clothes was already dry, probably not ordinary water.

You can go home now.

“Then I’ll come back in two days.”

“Yes….”

“If you don’t like this crappy situation, you should hurry up and build up your worth.”

“Okay, yes.”

Teresa and I dressed roughly and checked each other’s bodies.

“Let go of your neck.”

“Is this what you mean?”

“No, like this.”

What if you don’t show off the kiss mark you made?

“Don’t even tidy up your hair like that.”

I touched the back of my head and messed it up earlier, but I can’t turn it back to normal.

“Because you are a saint, are there nuns who help you with ablutions?”

“Yes….”

“Do not heal the bite marks on your neck and shoulders with holy power.”

“Okay….”

“This is a secret between the two of us. If someone knows you, you won’t see anything good. Don’t even tell your closest people.”

If this dishonest relationship is discovered, Teresa will be summoned to the Holy Land.

If not, another saint will come to replace Teresa.

So this secret transaction should not be discovered by anyone.

It’s also a secret I shouldn’t tell anyone except Helena.

“Then let’s go.”

“Yes….”

Unlike the first time I came here, this time I took the lead and walked down the aisle.

Until now, there was no talk between us.

Dr.

The mechanism worked and the blocked door opened.

We started walking toward the entrance of the cathedral.

Then I felt faint gazes around me.

Theresa seemed to be uncomfortable with that gaze, and made a gesture that seemed to cover her neck.

Perhaps it’s natural motion, not acting.

Maybe that’s why it felt more appealing.

“I will take you home, God’s representative.”

“Thank you very much.”

I got on the wagon prepared by the Holy Kingdom and headed home escorted by the Holy Knights.

In the swaying carriage, I let out a long sigh as I looked out the window.

It was as if this rocking wagon was representing my conscience.

ㅡ Did you have a conscience that could be shaken?

In another world, there is a saying that a seat makes a person.

I was just a good citizen.

I’m not bad!

Jumping.

The carriage stopped and the carriage door opened.

I came down from the wagon under the escort of the Holy Knight.

Then I saw Sir Louis approaching me from the manor with a relieved expression on his face.

“Thank you.”

“No! Rest in peace.”

The paladin greeted me with a thrilled expression and left.

“My lord, are you all right….”

Sir Lewis stopped talking and shut his mouth.

Anyway, I felt like I was questioning my strangely disheveled outfit.

“I was baptized in the cathedral. More than that is the personal story of Seongguk and myself.”

“Okay, yes….”

Sir Lewis nodded his head, somehow reminding him of Theresa, and distanced himself from me.

“Rest in peace.”

“Have a good night.”

Today I am more tired than usual.

Do I have to get involved in such troublesome things in the future?

—-That burden is the reason for being a hero….

Whew.

Don’t keep imitating that.

Still, thanks to Helena-sama, the gloomy mood seemed to have gone a little.

There will be a lot of things like this in the future, so let’s brush it off skillfully.

That burden is because of being a hero.
